<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings from your Baroness,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> For those of you who have
not heard, <SPAN class=style6><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Lord Donnchadh
Beag mac Griogair and Lady Muriel ingen Gille Crist </FONT></SPAN>will be the
next Baron and Baroness of Namron. We look forward to the new ideas and
enthusiasm they will bring to the job, and never doubt that it is a job. It's
time to finish all those last minute details for Protectorate and throw one heck
of a bash to welcome them into their new positions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I would like to take a moment to thank all of
the candidates who stepped forward to place themselves under consideration
for this challenging job. They have endured weeks of close scrutiny and
questions into their lives and character and born it all with grace and dignity.
Now it's time to embrace them and show them the kindness and generosity of
spirit they are needing right now. It's never easy to be told "not you
right now but them" so let's not forget in our excitement of welcoming those
who were chosen to show them love and support as well. I know I
can count on this Barony to rise to the occasion and show Ansteorra the shining
quality that we are made of. Nowhere on earth is better than Namron and it
Canton of Skorragardr and you all are the ones that make it
so. </FONT></DIV>
